Suns @ Warriors Tuesday game thread 5-11-2021

[Mainstreet]

The season is winding down. Only four regular season games left for the Suns.

After the Suns play the Warriors on Tuesday, they return home to play the Trail Blazers on Thursday and finish the season with back-to-back games at the Spurs on Saturday and Sunday.

Warriors are presently 35-33 and sit in 7th place in the West. They are on a six game home stand. In their first two games at home they have beaten OKC twice. They play the Jazz on Monday.

Suns are 48-20 and coming off a loss to the Lakers on Sunday. They have a three game cushion over the Clippers for second place in the West although the Clippers own the tiebreaker.

The game will be televised on Bally Sports Arizona.

Start time is scheduled for 7 p.m. Arizona time.

I'm going to pass along this tweet @Ronin has already posted because I want to make sure fans know the Suns home game with Portland on Thursday will be televised on TNT.

The most troubling thing for me with this team right now (besides God pissing on a dream season by making our first round opponent a nightmare) is we all knew the end of the season stretch was daunting, and even though we’ve been relatively healthy with our main four guys playing every night, we are really not playing well.

8-5 over the last 13 games. Averaging getting our doors blown in by 18.6 points per loss. When we were playing great or even stumbling a little at the beginning of the year, when we lost, we were either not finishing close games or just blowing big leads. Now, we’re getting blown out in games... and some of them from the jump.

Cam Johnson is again OUT for Warriors game.

Yeah, we kinda stumbling into the playoffs. Good thing we get a little break with the play-in games.

The Suns really can't win on most nights when Ayton has an off night. What's made it worse, Saric has not played well at backup center either so much so that Kaminsky has taken over the position.

Added to the Suns woes is that Cam Johnson's shooting has declined as well.

We ain’t exactly storming into the post season on a high here . . .

Honestly I think the team is already thinking about the postseason right now and it is causing them to go through the motions a little bit. I believe they will ramp up the intensity when the playoffs begin, but who knows for sure.

We need Portland to beat Utah.

Then if we can win out we get the number 1 seed.

None of our remaining games will be easy though, starting with this one.

If the Trail Blazers can't beat the Jazz in Utah, I don't think they are going to lose any more games. Still it's a crazy season.

Suns need to get back on right track before poffs especially dario cam ayton for suns to have any chance in poffs......

Hoping for a good gm vs warriors

Yeah, my optimism has definetley faded.

I think the thing bothering me most is Bookers lackluster play.

He was just so much better last season. I just don't have the confidence he can be successful when he is constantly doubled.

his inability to make quick decisions or anticipate when doubles are coming have been disappointing. Even more so because he hasn’t gotten better at dealing with them as the season has wore on.

Jae Crowder will start tonight in place of Torrey Craig.

 

[Mainstreet]

It's nearing time for tip-off.

 

[Mainstreet]

Paul passes to Ayton down low to get Suns on scoreboard.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns leading 15-14 with 7:05 in the 1st.

Jae Crowder has 6 points on two 3s.

 

[Mainstreet]

Crowder hits 3-pointer and is fouled but misses FT.

 

[Cheesebeef]

This is the best 1st quarter I’ve seen in a couple weeks.

 

[Mainstreet]

Crowder again with the three. Suns lead 32-23 with 2:24 in 1st.
